Anorak Ventures
No summary available yet.
Anorak is the real deal for technical B2B founders - Volpi and Hamid both have serious enterprise chops and actually understand infrastructure. They move fast, write reasonable checks, and don't micromanage. The catch? They're extremely selective and prefer founders who can speak their technical language fluently. If you're building consumer or need hand-holding on go-to-market, look elsewhere. But if you're a technical founder with a genuinely differentiated B2B product, they're worth the pitch.
